Good suggestion, which I've done. I've also driven the route in 5 other cars
which each show 60.5 miles one way. Just thought someone might like to know.
Of course, my car may be the only one that has the different reading? Maybe
Honda decided to go too far in the other direction after the
lawsuit:-)...who knows.
